What is WritePro?

Which of the following would please you the most?

  • Writing a short story that actually gets accepted for publication.
     
  • Working on a novel, always knowing what to do next.
     
  • Writing a memoir that your children or grandchildren will delight in.
     
  • Experiencing the joy of releasing the creativity you always believed to be within you.

Whatever your occupation and level of schooling or talent, you can take the most important step in becoming the creative writer you always dreamed and hoped you might become. Who says so? How about The New York Times, the Associated Press, Writer's Digest, and the reviewers for many other news services and national magazines? How about the editors who make the selections for the Book-of-the-Month Club and the Literary Guild?

The Reviewers Say You Can Do It. But How?

The answer is WritePro, which is being used successfully by many tens of thousands of writers in all 50 States and in 38 countries. WritePro is an easy-to-use software program that guides you step by step in the creating of rounded characters, suspenseful plots, and sparkling dialogue. It eliminates writer's block completely, enables you to avoid trial and error, and you see proof of your improvement within minutes. It comes with a built-in word processor and saves everything you write automatically.

Who's Going to Guarantee That I'll Be Able to Use It Successfully?

WritePro is. If your creative writing doesn't improve within minutes, contact us for a full refund any time within 30 days. The writers and reviewers who have tried WritePro know--that it works. With this guarantee, you risk nothing--and you have a world to gain, all your hopes and dreams of writing novels or stories or memoirs.

What Kind of Computer Do I Need?

WritePro will run on both Windows machines running Windows 95 or later, including XP, and Macintosh machines running 9.1 or better.  It will run under OS X as a classic application and an OS X version is in the works.

Listen to the Executive Editor of a screenwriting magazine:

"WritePro is, beyond a doubt, the easiest program to use for the IBM PC and compatibles that we have ever reviewed. The Stein method dramatically improved the stories we used as tests. We recommend you consider purchasing WritePro as soon as possible."

To Macintosh owners, MacUser said, "If you'd like an excellent self-paced writing tutorial, you can't go wrong with the inexpensive WritePro."

Who Is Behind This Program?

You are right to ask. So many advertised programs for writers are written by people who don't or can't practice what they teach, who haven't published much if at all, whose teaching credentials are unknown and who teach mechanical methods no worthy creative writer would ever employ. With WritePro you get an award-winning teacher and prize-winning author inside your computer, guiding you every step of the way as you write your story or novel.

The creator of WritePro, Sol Stein, is a prize-winning playwright produced on Broadway, an anthologized poet, the author of nine novels including the million-copy-seller, The Magician, plus nonfiction books, screenplays, and TV dramas. He has edited and published some of the most successful writers of our century: James Baldwin, F. Lee Bailey, David Frost, Jack Higgins, and Elia Kazan, none of whom had published major work until they came under Stein's guidance. Most important, Stein won the Distinguished Instructor Award from the University of California for his amazing work with beginners.

  4. There is not enough dramatic conflict in the story. (Shows how to intensify conflict.)
